WHISKY SPONGE EQUILIBRIUM III HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 22 YR OLD

We couldn’t complete the Whisky Sponge series without also tying up the loose end that is our side series: Equilibrium. This mini-series, designed to showcase whiskies that balance sherry and peat flavour profiles, was always intended to be a trilogy, so we are happy to finally be able to complete it. This is a 22 year old Highland Single Malt, composed of medium peated examples from 1997 and 2000, refill matured, sherry finished and then married in refill sherry to bring everything together before finally being bottled with a few degrees reduction at 53%. This is rich, layered, slightly softer on the peat and richer on the sherry, but overall a gorgeously flavoursome and luxurious example of this long lusted after flavour combination!

Waterford Cuvee Koffi, 50%

https://youtu.be/L-8CM3L1RLs

Waterford have come on a long way since those first bottle releases in 2020. But it hasn’t all been met with graciousness.

This is the Koffi, named after the artist of this rather stunning artwork on the bottle and box. Waterford’s oldest whisky to date at six years old. Matured in a combination of ex-American and French oak, and a vatting of numerous styles of their single farm origin styles of whisky, this is a rather stunning combination of Waterford’s house style, as well as some welcome cask influences of fresh summer fruits.

That Waterford house style is, for me, becoming one of the most unique styles in whisky, instantly notable as soon as it hits your nose. This earthy, unpeated, petrichor, grassy, wet Irish hill climb of whisky style is becoming so distinct in the ever-growing world of whisky.

NEW PRODUCT RELEASE

WHISKY SPONGE ED.98 GLEN GRANT 20 YEARS OLD

Our final run of Sponges would not be complete without a final entry for Angus’s much adored Glen Grant distillery. This is a 2003 1st fill barrel which we’ve bottled at 20 years of age and with a couple of degrees reduction to our favourite bottling strength of 57.1%/100 proof. We’ve also really pulled out all the stops in our continuing mission to shamelessly rip off the old traditional Glen Grant ‘Heath Covered Mountains’ label design. Thankfully it’s out of copywrite! We love this cask, the slightly fat and full-bodied style of the whisky it represents, and we are really happy to be able to include it in the final run of the Sponge series.

Penelope Bourbon announces annual release of Toasted Rye

Award-winning small-batch straight rye whiskey returns

ROSSELLE, N.J. (July, 2024) – Penelope’s second release in its annual Straight Rye Whiskey Toasted Series is now available. The first-ever release of Penelope Toasted Rye Whiskey achieved high acclaim at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition by scoring 99 points and winning Double Gold.

This year’s expression is the result of finishing a very special, hand-selected 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill in new freshly toasted barrels. Penelope Toasted Rye Whiskey (Batch 24-304) is on shelf now with a limited allocation of 9,000 (6-in) cases at a minimum suggested retail price of $74.99 per 750mL bottle.

“After what we achieved with last year’s release, we are really excited for our second installment,” said Michael Paladini, founder of Penelope Bourbon. “Our first Toasted Rye scored 99 points at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and we’re confident this release will be equally well received.”

Penelope Toasted Rye features a layered aroma on the nose with bold, sweet butterscotch and a body of vanilla and toasted marshmallow balanced with notes of light tobacco and fruit. Toasted Rye’s long finish has a sweet dessert character with orange peel and subtle spice. 

“After aging the rye whiskey for six years prior to finishing, this year’s release resulted in a profile that we believe will really stand out,” said Daniel Polise, founder and master blender of Penelope Bourbon. “The char 2 profile of the finishing barrels used brought out rich butterscotch notes to the blend of selected barrels, adding additional layers and depth to a great rye whiskey.”
